Nagra’s Board of Directors has appointed Matthias Braun as its new CEO. Braun has a doctorate in geology and will succeed Thomas Ernst, who will retire after 14 years as CEO.
At yesterday’s extraordinary general meeting, the National Cooperative for the Disposal of Radioactive Waste (Nagra) elected Lino Guzzella as an additional member of the Board of Directors.
Nagra has completed drilling the first of two boreholes in Bözberg. The second will be completed over the next two weeks. At present, no further boreholes are planned in the Jura Ost siting region.
Eighteen months after the start of the deep borehole campaign, Nagra confirms that it is possible to construct a safe deep geological repository in all three potential siting regions.
In October, Nagra will submit an application for a deep borehole in the community of Bachs in the Nördlich Lägern siting region.
